This zesty, effervescent drink combines the sophisticated complexity of Ritual Tequila Alternative with bright grapefruit soda and fresh lime juice for a perfectly balanced sipper that’s as satisfying as the original. With its gorgeous pink hue and refreshing citrus kick, this mocktail is perfect for poolside parties, taco nights, or anytime you want that vacation vibe. Ready in under 2 minutes and guaranteed to be your new go-to summer refresher!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Ritual Tequila Alternative
  • 2 oz grapefruit soda (or substitute with grapefruit juice + regular soda water)
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes (lots of them!)

For Perfect Garnish:

  • Lime wedge
  • Grapefruit wedge
  • Coarse salt for rim (optional)
  • Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Perfect Canvas: Fill a highball glass completely to the brim with ice cubes—the more ice, the better! This keeps your mocktail perfectly chilled and prevents dilution while maintaining that refreshing temperature.
  2. Build Your Mexican Masterpiece: Pour the Ritual Tequila Alternative directly over the ice, followed by the grapefruit soda. The combination creates that beautiful pink color that makes this drink so visually stunning!
  3. Add the Citrus Magic: Top with fresh lime juice and give everything a gentle stir to combine all those gorgeous flavors. The lime adds that essential tartness that balances the sweet grapefruit perfectly.
  4. Garnish Like a Pro: Add a wedge of lime or grapefruit (or both!) to the rim of your glass. For extra flair, rim the glass with coarse salt before adding ice, or add a sprig of fresh mint for aromatic appeal.
  5. Serve and Savor: Present immediately while perfectly chilled and bubbly. Take that first sip and let the refreshing Mexican sunshine flavors transport you to your happy place. ¡Salud!

Notes

The beauty of this mocktail lies in its simplicity and authentic flavor! Ritual Tequila Alternative provides that complex, slightly smoky flavor that makes this taste like the real deal. Don’t have grapefruit soda? Simply mix fresh grapefruit juice with soda water for the same effect. For an extra special touch, rim your glass with coarse salt mixed with a little lime zest. This mocktail is naturally low in calories and perfect for anyone avoiding alcohol while still wanting to enjoy sophisticated flavors. Scale up easily for parties—just multiply the ingredients!
